Enhance cell culture growth with our CO2 incubator.

CO2 incubators are essential tools for cultivating biological or cell cultures, particularly for stem lines such as embryonic and adult stem cells, as well as in in-vitro fertilization procedures.

It provides the controlled environment necessary for cells to thrive, regulating temperature, humidity, and most importantly, carbon dioxide levels. This precision ensures optimal conditions for cell growth, viability, and experimental reproducibility, advancing our understanding of biology and paving the way for innovative discoveries in medicine and beyond.

The cell lines cultured within CO2 incubators find application in antibody and vaccine production, drug testing, artificial tissue generation, and various pharmaceutical and medical research endeavors. You can create optimal conditions for your research with precise CO2 control.

Why is carbon dioxide used in incubators and how does it work?

Three critical parameters influence cell growth: temperature, humidity, and CO2 concentration. Maintaining a constant temperature is vital for cell health; this can be achieved through heated water or heating elements depending on the incubator type. Humidity is equally crucial to prevent cultures from desiccating; small to mid-sized incubators use humidity pans, while larger ones may employ steam-generators or atomizers. Lastly, CO2, though not metabolically necessary, is added to dissolve into the medium, forming carbonic acid to regulate pH via the bicarbonate buffering system.

CO2 Incubators for the laboratory: perfect conditions for incubation and cultivation

The CO2incubator is equipped with the most advanced controller –SMART PRO which was created for the most demanding customers. The intuitive menu and user-friendly software are among the many advantages of the controller.

The ILC 180 SMART PRO Incubator is stackable. Two units can be stacked on top of each other. For this purpose the stacking optional adaptor is required. It prevents heat transmission, shocks and vibrations transferring from one chamber to another. The base on castors allows the incubator to be easily moved from one location to another. It is also recommended to avoid dirt from the floor potentially contaminating the chamber.

Distinguishing features of the Pol-Eko CO2 incubators: 

  • Intuitive touch screen interface simplifies culture parameter management and incubator status monitoring.
  • Rapid heating system maintains stable temperature, even with frequent door openings.
  • High-efficiency HEPA filter removes airborne contaminants, ensuring culture environment sterility.

Why choose Pol-Eko CO2 incubator?

    • Constant temperature ensures reliable conditions
    • Bright and clear touchscreen display with SMART PRO controller
    • Key lock handle for secure access
    • CO2 gas-mixing jet ensures homogeneous distribution
    • Hot-air sterilization at 180°C
    • Contamination protection

Stackable design of the CO2 incubators saves you space in laboratory

Two units can be vertically stacked using the optional stacking adapter, effectively optimizing laboratory space. This adapter serves to mitigate heat transfer, shocks, and vibrations between chambers. Equipped with castors, the base facilitates effortless relocation, ensuring operational flexibility. Moreover, elevating the incubator minimizes the risk of chamber contamination by preventing contact with floor contaminants.
